The work presented here is divided into four projects, each with a specific aim. All but the last project derive from alpha-aryl ketones, and all of the projects share the common theme of extending the practical use of carbenes/nitrenes in organic synthesis.... 803; LRMS (CI) m/z (rel. intensity) 312 (1), 310 (1), 171 (20), 169 (20), 141 (100
